Assume you are a genetic counselor and a couple seeks genetic counseling from you. Both the man and woman are phenotypically normal. However, while the man is karyotypically normal, the woman is heterozygous for a paracentric inversion on chromosome 8. If the length of the inversion is 30 cM, what is the probability that this couple will produce a child with a debilitating syndrome as the result of crossing over within the inverted region? (Assume all of the woman's oocytes form viable eggs and none result in early miscarriage.
